World Cup History

Argentina are the reigning World Cup champions, ending 36 years of hurt with victory in 2022. The 2026 tournament is a bid to defend the title, and the Albiceleste are prepared. Lionel Messi at 39 may be playing his final World Cup — but genius does not expire on schedule.

Enzo Fernández, Julián Álvarez, and Lautaro Martínez form the strongest Argentine attack in decades. The defence, anchored by Romero, is reliable and uncompromising. Argentina's ability to win the hard games is their most valuable asset, forged in the fires of 2022.
